Marcus Taylor Paige (born September 11, 1993) is an American professional basketball coach and former player.

He played college basketball for the University of North Carolina, where he helped lead the Tar Heels to the 2016 NCAA championship game, and now serves as an assistant coach at his alma mater.

[3] In his junior year, Paige led Linn-Mar High School to an undefeated season and the 2011 4-A state title.

Considered by scouts to be an excellent ball handler with shooting range to the three-point line,[4] Paige also played on the AAU circuit with Martin Brothers Select.

Paige's high school career ended when Linn-Mar was defeated by Iowa City West in the state semi-finals.

Paige led the Tar Heels to the NCAA tournament, where for a second year in a row, they lost in the round of thirty-two, this time against Iowa State 85–83.

[5] His statistical drops are in part credited to a case of plantar fasciitis that Paige was fighting all year long.

However, he recovered late in the season and helped the Tar Heels win the 2016 ACC tournament and lead them to the 2016 NCAA championship game, where they faced Villanova.

[12] Paige appeared in 46 games and started 40 for the Salt Lake City Stars in the 2016–17 NBA Development league season.

[21] Paige fills a role vacated by another former Tar Heel in Jackie Manuel, who left his alma mater to take an on-the-bench coaching position at American University.

[22] Paige became a full assistant and assumed head coaching duties for the UNC junior varsity team with the 2024–25 season.
